    Default My 1st 3d carving with Aspire

    Gee, sweeps and extrusions can take a while to learn!
    This is my tribute to Hamilton "Buzz" Ware, early Village of Arden artist. His small woodcut print, "Arden Dogwood" was worth a bigger stage in our newly renovated community library.
    The relief of my carving is .625",but I couldn't resist finishing it with chisels, to avoid sanding. I use spanish cedar, and finished it in shellac, using colored powder stains in suspension, with a 'sort-of' french polish technique. (from my roots as an antique restorer) Top coated with satin poly.

    Pleased to see beautiful children studying near the beautifully carved panel.
    I left woodwork due to office work.
